#5 ‘Fast Car’ By Tracy Chapman

One of the most well-known songs about a car, ‘Fast Car’ keeps the relaxing vibes coming. If you don’t know every lyric to this song by now…we don’t know what to tell you! With endless hours in the car, it’s time to get to memorizing!

#6 ‘Freeway Of Love’ By Aretha Franklin

If you’re traveling with your boo thang, this is the song for you! Head down the ‘Freeway of Love’ 😘 with Aretha Franklin’s melodic and perfectly placed vocals.

#7 ‘Before He Cheats’ By Carrie Underwood

If you thought we were going to forget about this song, you were wrong! One of our favorite tracks to sing during karaoke, ‘Before He Cheats,’ gets us amped up every time! No one creates the most perfect songs to sing in the car like Carrie Underwood. But, please don’t actually slash your tires 🛞.

#8 ‘Shut Up And Drive’ By Rihanna

If mother Rihanna tells us to ‘Shut Up and Drive,’ then we will do just that 🤐. In fact, we’ll take it one step further and listen to the entire Good Girl Gone Bad album. We’ve got time, right!?

#9 ‘Drive’ By Halsey

You didn’t forget about this song, did you!? Halsey’s music always comes in clutch 🤝 when we need it most, and ‘Drive’ is no exception.

#10 ‘Midnight Drive’ By Mary J. Blige

Hopefully, you are not driving to see your fav throughout the night, but if you are, enjoy the views 🌃 and listen to ‘Midnight Drive.’

#11 ‘Speed Drive’ By Charli XCX

Yes, we are still talking about the Barbie 🩷movie, and I don’t think we will ever stop. One of our favorite tracks from the album, ‘Speed Drive,’ gets us through any tough and long road trip. Charli XCX is known for her beat-filled bops about driving really fast, so we’d be fools to not also encourage you to listen to ‘Vroom Vroom!’
